Yes, the place on Napa will take it, but be sure you pull any steel cases out of the bucket or they will ding you pretty hard. I now sort brass trimmings, brass cases, and primers into 3 separate buckets.

No, you do not need to remove primers although they may pay a few cents more per pound for unprimed brass but it's hardly worth the effort. But it is important to sort out any steel cases.

The place I recommend is Action recycling on 911 E Marietta Ave, Spokane, 99207 Phone: (509) 483-4094 They are located off of Hamilton Just South of East North foothills drive where Hamilton turns into Nevada. Google Action recycling and see map. If you're driving north on Hamilton, its a few blocks North of the Donut parade on the right side where the is an E-cigarette place on the corner and a radiator shop across the street on the left (West) side of Hamilton.
